    I know this must be a stupid question, but does anyone know how to hnadle directory names that contain apostrophes in Windows? I can't get gnuplot to load or cd to the relevant directory.

      Your best bet is: don't do that.  Whitespace in directory names is quite silly enough --- apostrophes have good potential of being even worse.

      If you're lucky, a simple workaround like

         load "c:/where'ever/file.gpl"

      might work (note the double quotes around the name, and that I've used forward slashes).
